Willian moved from Shakhtar Donetsk to Anzhi Makhachkala in the big move of transfer deadline day.

The Brazilian had a number of big European teams after him, but chose the money on offer in Russia according to his coach at the Ukrainian club Mircea Lucescu.

“Instead of a dream about a strong club from the English league, constantly competing in the Champions League and playing against Barcelona, Real, Bayern, Manchester United, Willian chose money," Lucescu was quoted as saying by R-Sport.
